Hi,
I have a Compal CY27 laptop. The graphics chipset is (as reported by lspci):
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 0000:00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
I read all material on the net about the memory/vbios problems with this chipset. I do not think I have this problem because I can change the memory allocated to the graphics card in the BIOS setup program, and the XFree output reflects these changes.
I have tried all kinds of patchs, all the latest XFree versions available (including 4.4.0), several distros (FC1, FC2, Mandrake 10 and now, Debian unstable), the IBM driver, asked the dealer and manufacturer for a BIOS update, but my LCD never reaches 1024x768 (only 800x600 and 640x480). Actually, a few months ago, I gave out trying to make the LCD work under 1024x768, after all this dozens of failed trials.
I am getting back to this because I just find out that, if I connect a external CRT monitor (actually a Samsung SyncMaster 700p) to the CRT out of my laptop, 1024x768 works on it! I am completely puzzled. If XFree can make the external monitor works on 1024x768, why it can not do the same with the LCD?
I was told that my graphics chipset has a vbios problem that prevents Xfree from recognizing its ability to work under 1024x768, but, if this is true, why that external CRT works under 1024x768?
I must note that under WinXP the LCD works on 1024x768 and that the XiG X server can also do the same.
Now that it is clear that Xfree can produce 1024x768 with my chipset and my LCD supports 1024x768, how can I force Xfree to try 1024x768 on the LCD?

The XFree output can be found here:

I am really sorry for my bad English.
Thanks a lot for your assistance.
